Firing Back Sen. Kirk Defies NRA

Sen. Mark S. Kirk, R-Ill., defied the NRA to confirm Vivek Murthy as surgeon general. The Murthy confirmation was delayed for months due to opposition by the NRA and most Republicans, primarily over his support for gun control measures. But Kirk’s vote helped put him over the top with a 51 to 43 vote Monday.
